Question about Holiday Exterior Illumination

I decorated my front porch and was able to plug my two strings of light into my exterior porch light - it's older and has an outlet in addition to a regular bulb that works off of an interior light switch.

I have an attached garage and on the side of the garage (around the corner, heading into the yard) I have an exterior light (newer model, no additional outlet) that it turned out by a switch inside the garage. I want to run two strings of light hanging off of the gutter above my garage door and plug it into the light around the corner.

I'd swear that I remember they used to make inserts that converted a light to an outlet. By that I mean you take out the bulb, scru (i know I spelled it wrong) in this insert which doesn't look like a bulb, it looks like a regular electrical outlet.

Am I cracking up or do they still make these things?

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.
